Synopsis

On the stage, we see an elaborate easel and a table, the space under which is perfectly open. Pierrot enters and rapidly sketches a lady's head, which comes to life on the canvas and speaks to him. He lifts it down and places it on the table, and proceeds to draw an armless bust, which suddenly comes to life and is placed under the head. Two living arms are next produced in the same way and attached to the bust. The skirt is added, and the lady, as a whole, steps forward. Pierrot gives her a seat and proceeds to draw a baby in long clothes, whom he takes down, and who comes rapidly towards the audience until the screaming infant fills the whole picture with the most ludicrous effect.
